Liverpool have confirmed the signing of Schalke defender Ozan Kabak on loan.
Kabak becomes the second player to move to Anfield on Monday’s January transfer deadline following the £2 million arrival of Ben Davies from Preston.
The Turkey international, 20, is set to spend the remainder of the season with the Reds, who have the option of making the move permanent this summer.
Kabak and Davies will provide much-needed cover for the Premier League champions at centre-back in lieu of Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip and Joe Gomez.
“He is only 20 now. He plays in his second club [in Germany]; he is at Schalke and unfortunately they are in a bad position in the moment,” said Klopp.
“For him, I think it’s a really good moment to make the move because, like each player in the world, you need a stable team around you and that’s what we can deliver.
“We deliver a stable team and you can play your position, you don’t have to be 20 with pretty much everything on the pitch and not allowed to make mistakes anymore.
“He’s really a big, big talent and we are really looking forward to working with him.”
